Interview with Tara Strong at The Mary Sue

The Mary Sue interviewed Tara Strong about Pony, the fandom, an upcoming series she's part of and some more.
Especially the first part is interesting as she tells about Twilight's future in FiM.
That should clearify some of the rumors. Go read the entire interview here or go past the break for the most important part of it.

TMS: To the current news, [SPOILER ALERT] fandom is
reacting strongly to Twilight Sparkle becoming a Princess very soon. We
don’t think there’s anything wrong with being a Princess, but we do see
them a lot in children’s shows and movies. Will Twilight be a
stereotypical Princess or something more?

Strong: Well the good news is, Twilight is going to
stay Twilight. She is overwhelmed and surprised and grateful for this
new phase in her life but it’s not going to change how she is or how she
interacts with her friends, she’s staying in Ponyville. I’m certainly
not changing any of my performance and it’s really the same Twilight
except she can do more stuff now. She can fly…it’s not going to change
the overall feel of the show, she’s going to be with the Mane 6. It’s
just Twilight but a little bit better, she can do more stuff! But
overall, it’s not really going to change that much. I think that’s what
everybody’s afraid of, that it’s going to change sort of that core
element that everyone fell in love with these six characters and that’s
not going to change at all. I’m not changing a thing about my
performance.
